It is Ohio’s state capitol and home to Broad Street Presbyterian Church, which is located in the heart of an ethnic and culturally diverse metropolitan area just blocks from thriving downtown Columbus.  Home of the Buckeyes, and Ohio State University, we invite you to spend Christmas 2001 with families of our congregation.
